IMPROVEMENT IN SHEET-IRON SCOOPS.

Speciiication forming part of Letters Patent No. 147,854. dated Febxu.' r) 24,1874; appli( atioi filed 4 September 6,1873.

To all 'whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN O. MILLIGAN, of city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Sheet- Iron Scoops 5 and I do hereby declare that the followingis a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being` had tothe accompanying drawing forming a part of this speciication.

The invention consists in a flour-scoop made of one piece of iron, as hereinafter described, and pointe l out in the claim.

The drawing' is a side elevation.

The scoop has the short side C and the prolonged or extended one A, the whole being made of ductile metal and brought intoshape through a series of dies which gradually approximate and nally reach the shape shown in the drawing.

The articles of the kind heretofore known to the public were made in two or more pieces, seamed, and lacking the requisite smoothness and evenness of face, while they are not nearl so durable as mine, and more subject to accident. y

I am aware that a trough-shaped scoop has been made of one piece of metal 5 but none, I believe7 with the cover C made from a cylinder with one closed end, by simply making a diagonal out thereacross and afxing a handle to the closed end.

IJI-avinthus described my invention,iwhat I claim as new is- The one-piece covered scoop consisting of a seamless tube,A O, cut diagonally,and provided with a handle at the closed end, as set forth.

JOHN C. MILLIGAN.
